To solve the problem of normal websites not rendering properly due to a Real-time Protection policy that blocks all activities to non-corporate S3 buckets, the best solution is to create a Real-time Protection policy to allow the Browse activity to the Cloud Storage category. This approach will enable users to view content from various cloud storage services, including Amazon S3, without allowing full access to non-corporate S3 buckets. It’s a more granular and less restrictive policy that allows necessary browsing activities while still maintaining control over the upload and download activities to non-corporate buckets1.

Netskope Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) allows for the creation of custom rules using Domain Specific Language (DSL) for all three major cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, and GCP. This capability is integral to CSPM and enables organizations to tailor their security posture assessments to their specific needs across different cloud environments.

In Netskope Cloud Security, to block uploads of password-protected files, you should add the file profile to a DLP (Data Loss Prevention) profile that is used in a Real-time Protection policy. The DLP profiles in Netskope are designed to detect and protect sensitive data in real-time and at rest across the cloud environment. This approach ensures that any file matching the criteria set in the file profile, such as being password-protected, will trigger the DLP rules and prevent the upload action in real-time.

Netskope supports automatic remediation of security violations through its Auto-Remediation frameworks, which are available in the public Netskope GitHub Open Source repository. These frameworks allow for the automatic mitigation of risks associated with security misconfigurations in your cloud environment. The Netskope Auto-Remediation framework for AWS, for example, deploys a set of AWS Lambda functions that query the Netskope API at scheduled intervals and automatically mitigates supported violations1. Similarly, there are frameworks for GCP and other cloud environments that follow the same principle2. This capability is particularly useful for low-risk environments where the security operations team’s workload can be reduced by automating the remediation process.

To ensure that the web application using HTTPS on port 6443 is both reachable and decrypted by Netskope, the correct action is to enable “Steer non-standard ports” in the steering configuration and add the domain and port as a new non-standard port. This is because Netskope’s default configuration steers standard HTTP/HTTPS traffic, typically on ports 80 and 443. Since port 6443 is a non-standard port for HTTPS traffic, it requires explicit configuration to be steered through Netskope1.

To ensure that no data is uploaded to non-AcmeCorp instances of OneDrive, the policies that would accomplish this are:

Policy B: This policy allows traffic only for AcmeCorp’s OneDrive and blocks all other Microsoft 365 Suite traffic. It ensures that data is not uploaded to non-AcmeCorp OneDrive instances by restricting access to only the corporate instance of OneDrive.

Policy C: This policy allows traffic for AcmeCorp’s Microsoft 365 Suite but blocks all other OneDrive for Business traffic. It achieves the same outcome by permitting corporate suite usage while preventing uploads to any OneDrive for Business instances that are not part of AcmeCorp.

These policies are designed to provide granular control over the data flow, ensuring that company data remains within the corporate environment and is not transferred to external or personal storage solutions.

The given Skope IT query specifies the following conditions:

User equals ‘user@company.com’

Access method equals ‘Client’

Activity equals ‘Download’ or ‘Upload’

Site equals ‘Amazon S3’

The query combines these conditions using logical operators (AND and OR).

The result of this query will include all events where the specified user (‘user@company.com’) is either downloading or uploading data to or from the site ‘Amazon S3’ using the Netskope Client.

It does not include events related to other users or IP addresses. References:

 To enable the Netskope Client to automatically determine whether it is on-premises or off-premises, you can use the following options in the Netskope UI:

Enable Dynamic Steering:

This option is available in the Steering Configuration section of the UI.

By enabling dynamic steering, the Netskope Client can intelligently determine the appropriate data plane (on-premises or cloud) based on the user’s location and network conditions.

It ensures that traffic is directed to the optimal data plane for improved performance and security.

In the exhibit, the Malware Remediation Profile is configured with:

Connected EDR Server: crowdstrike-demo

Selected Action: Add to watchlist/blocklist

Not Selected: Isolate, Alert

When using CrowdStrike as an EDR integration, the action “Add to watchlist/blocklist” corresponds to:

?? Adding the malware hash as an Indicator of Compromise (IOC) inside CrowdStrike Falcon.

CrowdStrike will then block or flag that hash across all managed endpoints, depending on its local policies.

A. Import the root certificate for your internal certificate authority into Netskope:

This step ensures that Netskope recognizes and trusts SSL certificates issued by your company’s internal certificate authority. By importing the root certificate, you enable proper SSL inspection and validation for internal sites.

B. Bypass SSL inspection for the affected site(s):

Since the intranet site uses your company’s internal certificate authority, bypassing SSL inspection for this specific site allows users to access it without encountering SSL errors.

D. Change the SSL Error Settings from Block to Bypass in the Netskope tenant:

Adjusting the SSL Error Settings to “Bypass” allows users to proceed past SSL errors, including self-signed certificate errors. This ensures uninterrupted access to the intranet site. References:
